Couldnt format cylinder 0
« on: March 09, 2013, 11:20:01 PM »
I have installed an HD floppy drive (FB-374A, Amiga HD floppy) in my 4000T and went and bought a brand new box of HD floppies preformatted as 1.44 PC disks.

I can format an 800K floppy no problem and is recognized as an 800K floppy. Put in an HD floppy and is recognized as a 1.76MB floppy, click format, then the DF0: icon on the desktop changes to busy. Then after a few seconds I get the error "COULDNT FORMAT CYLINDER 0"

I have tried 5 different disks with the same results.

Anyone know whats wrong?

Thanks!
